Lia vs. Cerbera - The Big Rabbit and the Little Devil

Lia expected another quick rushing kick from Cerbera, but Cerbera's speed still managed to impress. Lia could be quite fast herself, but Lia's speed was forceful, decisive, a single flash. Cerbera, however, lived and breathed speed. She fought to dictate the pace, to ensure the fight matched her speed. Even with the attacks she had taken, Cerbera could not be slowed down. It was a statement to her tenacity.

Lia barely got to her feet, only managing prepare to brace herself for the kawaii's next attack just a brief instant before that attack came. She brought her arm in, only slightly grazing the attack with it. The kick would still strike home, causing Lia to hop to the side, clutching her side, but still not falling. Her rabbit ears would straighten and fall with the shock and subsequent pain of the blow. She could not take too many more kicks like that. Despite the size difference between the two fighters, Cerbera was as scrappy as they came.

Gritting her teeth and powering through the pain, Lia would try to lurch forward, throwing a gut-level clothesline at Cerbera with her other arm, hoping to strike her before she recovered and loaded up another devastating kick.

Cerbera's kick was accurate as ever, she was the dead eye of her own style, her kicks were always accurate but they became more decisive with more training. She looked at Lia, the girl was fast aswell, maybe if they actually did gain a sisterly bond, she could train her... Stupid thoughts had clouded Cerbera's mind, she should never trust strangers no matter how they act but Lia did have something other's didn't... She just couldn't place her finger on it.

Cerbera hadn't paid attention enough to see where that clothesline was going from, bringing her arms up to protect her throat with her forearms, only to be hit hard into her gut, forcing Cerbera to almost get catapulted off the mat and onto her back again, coughing out loudly for air, holding her stomach while her legs wildly kicked the mat to try and lure the pain elsewhere.

Lia huffed, taking a few seconds to recover from the pain. That last blow struck hard, but so did Lia's retaliation. Clutching her side, she approached Cerbera. Lia would try to grab Cerbera and bring her to her feet. If the kawaii was still stunned, Lia would shoot for a display of power, trying to lift Cerbera up with two hands, hoisting her above Lia's head (Her rabbit ears would accidentally tickle Cerbera), and then slamming her, back first, to the mat.

Cerbera was forced to stand back up onto her shakey feet, she never really did absorb blows that well and Lia's certainly packed a punch. She looked up at Lia when she was being lifted up and over the girl's head, her body shifted repeatedly from the ears that actually gave Cerbera a tingling feeling.

It didn't last though, being slammed onto her back into the mat again, her body arching after the impact before she'd lay sprawled out on the mat, breathing out loudly for air. " ..Ouw.. " She still managed to simply say.

Lia panted, clutching her side. Cerbera was not that heavy, but she struck hard. That lift was probably overdoing it with the amount of pain she had taken. Sitting down next to Cerbera, she ran a finger idly through one of her pigtails, "Now wasn't that a fun ride, Little Sis? Come on, up we go..." Lia would lift Cerbera up to her feet once more and whip her to the ropes. If Cerbera bounced back, Lia would try to hook her arm around Cerbera's neck and let her run right into a sleeper hold. If Lia could lock it in, she would lean in and plant another soft kiss on Cerbera's cheek.

Cerbera was all but ready to fight again, all she did was blankly stare up at the ceiling, wondering what just happened. When she felt the finger through her hair, she did blush a little, she was really confused about what she should do but Lia made that decision for her, being lifted upon her feet and thrown to the ropes, send back with added speed and caught within Lia's arm, her throat locked in nicely, caught in sleeperhold but still trying to struggle out of it, the kiss of the cheek however made Cerbera confused again.

Lia giggled playfully, tightening the hold, "Got you, Sis!" Lia kept the hold on as tight as she could bring herself to. She felt impulses screaming at her to lay it on as tight as she could muster, Cerbera was serious business, and Lia had the bruises to prove it.

Of course, Lia still could not do it. The "Little Sis" stuff was too internalized. She really liked Cerbera, despite having barely had much interaction with her. She did not really understand the attraction except that she was convinced Cerbera was the sort who could really use a friend who would have her back no matter what. It was silly, of course. Cerbera was one of the biggest heels in the AFW, but... she was not sure how she felt it, but she still just saw something... something she really liked in the girl. Somewhere between her fighting spirit, her willingness to take all this nonsense in decent humor, and that look in her eyes... Then again, maybe it was just a rush of bottled up affection from being out of the shooting, spying, paramilitary business, but self-awareness was never Lia's strong suit. Maybe she would be trying to be a big sister to every lost little girl in the league... if they were cute and cuddly, of course.

Still, she kept the hold tight enough to put SOME hurt on the kawaii heel, trying to bring Cerbera's body back and slowly trying to twist her wounded side away from Cerbera... hoping she could do so before the kawaii got her wits about her and tried to react, "If you want me to let go, you have to say 'You're the best big sis ever, big sis!'" Lia taunted playfully.

Cerbera was like a ragdoll in Lia's arms, that slam before the sleeprhold had worked some magic on Cerbera and now the rather tight sleeperhold was doing the rest, further draining her strength from her aswell, not to mention the low amount of oxygen she now had, she could not go into Lia's taunt, her hand grasping at the girl's arms, trying to pull them loose from her nec and head, trying to pour asmuch energy in it that she still had available, not giving Lia the satisfaction of hearing what she wanted to hear.

Lia was conflicted... it was hard for her to want this match to end. Cerbera was fun to fight... but, like just about anyone who was fun to fight, the kawaii could be dangerous as hell if unleashed.

Lia tried to keep the hold on, Cerbera's working against Lia's not quite tightly locked grasp would grant the kawaii a bit more air and blood flow and maybe the give she would need if she could capitalize on it quickly, but Lia would quickly tighten her arms up once she realized the slack Cerbera was working out of her.

Lia would try to slowly lower herself, bringing Cerbera to the ground. "Aw, come on, say it... saaaaay it...." She would coo, adding in a whisper, "Alright, if you want to keep the image up, you can just whisper it..."

Cerbera went down with Lia, seated upon the mat with Lia behind her and still locked, her air supply was back to full thanks to her own attempt to free herself but Lia had tighty secured it around her once more, Cerbera's hands remaining on Lia's arms and hearing her whisper, it was hard for Cerbera not to blush, trying to look over her shoulder at Lia, though with a much less dark glare then before, more like a confused one.

Despite in such a tight hold, Cerbera did all she could to pull on Lia's arms to free herself, her legs remained spread upon the mat, some of the fans had a better view of her crotch now thanks to Lia but Cerbera wasn't paying attention to that.
